The inhibition performance of three synthetic amine/ammonium-containing cationic polymers in colloidal silica particle growth is reported. The three additives are compared to control (no additives present during silicate polymerization). The three polymers, polyethyleneimine (PEI), polyallylamine hy

Colloidal silica (SiO2) is perhaps the most undesirable inorganic deposit formed in process industrial waters, either in bulk or on surfaces, such as membrane heat exchangers or pipelines. Conventional mineral scale inhibitors do not inhibit its formation. Chemical cleaning is difficult and not free
